craftgrrl | Bottle cutting, and searching. (Reply)

I had two things:

1. I got myself a bottle and jar cutter at Micheal's (with a 40% coupon! Wee!), and then promptly brought it home and tried it on some Henry Winehart's rootbeer bottles, and one of those Sobe Juice bottles. I didn't find it that easy. I got one half a bottle after many many failures. I am not sure if my Henry Winehart bottles are too thin, or if it's just a really tetchy process. The one good bottle cut on the Sobe bottle I got wasn't a good clean straight edge, and will now become a paint water cup. Does anyone have any experience with this? Any tips to make it work better?

2. I always search for craft info, and usually use Google. Lately I have been looking things up on Vivisimo because it folders the results in subcategories. I have been finding some pretty cool info and I thought I share that it's real useful. Like here is a google result for "drop spindle", and here is Vivisimo's "drop spindle" results. I figured you crafty folk might like it, so I thought I would share.
